Featuring a rounded look that resembles the light cycles from Tron, it adopts a double flow-through design with two cooling fans on either end, and a smaller third fan hidden at the center behind a mesh.

According to the company, the GPU features their Windforce Hyperburst cooling system that includes a separated PCB design. This is said to enable ‘penetrating airflow’ on both sides of the card’s backplate wherein all the hot air is exhausted towards the backside of the card. The smaller third ‘overdrive’ fan helps by providing an additional airflow that only fires up during demanding workloads.

Gigabyte has also used a range of advanced thermal materials to improve heat dissipation. These include superconducting heat pipes, composite metal grease for the GPU die — a hybrid compound that blends traditional thermal paste with liquid metal properties — and server-grade thermal conductive gel for other internal components. Together, these changes are said to keep temperatures in check while maintaining stable performance under sustained loads.
